“Innovations in Financing and Service Delivery: Making Malaria Treatment Available” will provide a forum to critically review and discuss the emerging evidence on novel ways to finance and deliver access to the treatment of malaria as well as ways to strengthen the quality of fever case management in both the public and private sectors.

The event aims to:

1. Critically review and discuss results and lessons from country experiences in innovations in the financing and delivery of first-line malaria treatment, the introduction of RDTs (or laboratory diagnosis), and the resulting need for treatment of non-malaria fevers. Policy makers will be informed of the most current and best technical evidence in these areas.
2. Provide a forum for international agencies active in global malaria control to take a stock of current knowledge (including pipeline projects), discuss views, and respond to clients’ comments and needs.
3. Identify critical evidence gaps to focus research.
4. Catalyze further knowledge-sharing and evaluation across malaria-endemic countries.
5. Leverage existing, and develop new, strategic partnerships for impact evaluation in malaria control (including joint evaluations and co-funding).

By invitation only.
